Hot Tin Roof

This post is from the now defunct website “A GameDev Plays…”, copied here for posterity

Hot Tin Roof is a charming little
detective platform game, but lacks polish and feels unfinished. Do you
have what it takes to play?

This is a gentle game about a detective investigating a crime with her
talking cat in a noir’ish setting. The story advances through dialogue
or shooting things, but not necessarily with bullets. Your gun is full
of possibilities depending on the type of bullet, for example shooting
bubbles that make visible previously hidden items. Mostly the game is
point & click and choosing dialogue options, although there are also
some platforming sections. The game has a blockish block art style which
works acceptably, but feels unfinished. As does many other parts of the
game, despite being released months ago. Controls are problematic; save
points sporadic; and, it is never particularly hard. Still this is a
cute game.

Hot Tin Roof is US$14.99 on the Steam
store for PC, Mac and Linux.
It has been bundled.
